Runts-shaIl We Raise Them?


Som e animals are born 'runts." Does it
pay to raise them? Is it not more econom-
ical to kill them IS soon as their runtiness
is obserYed2 The runty pigs sre usually
put IN q pen and given to the wife or
daughter. She is told that if she gives it
the Stops from the house, etc, she may
have what the hog briggs when Il is big
and fat. The fact that IN many CAGES she
does not get the money when the hog is
sold does not deter her from giving the
pig all the Stops and milk it can drink. IL
also gets the crusts, refuse vegetables. peel
iDgs, etc, from the kitchen; and quite
often the zeal Of the woman makes the
feed OF the pig quite expensive. Kept in
confinement and fed rich, sloppy food, the
pig increases rapidly in size, but gains
more in size than in weight. If put ont
with the other swine, on grass and
exercise, its pot-belly disappears, it gets
pointy and loses in size, though not so much
In weight. AS il comes from the pen IL is
more gut than bone, more slop than mus
Gle. It's flesh is soft aud habby. When
put "a harder, drier food, and allowed to
take some exercise, both of which are es.
sential to firm, sweet wholesome flesh, the
fact becomes painfully apparent that its
growth in the pen has been fictitious to a
certain extent.
We believe the best thing to do is to kill
the runt at once. If pig or a lamb, its
value can be put little. The loss will hard
" equal the cost to bring the animal 70

n longer period of probation may be given :;
and ordinarily the chances are in favor Of
bringing a colt through. Yet we are OF the
opinion that such is the inclination TO keep
rather than to sacrifice the rant. tina. the
best advice 10 kill without delay, provided
it is not Of a choice breed and worth the
cost Of the extra care necessary to bring ND
to a somewhat normal condition, bat this
is not often profitable.

Value of Honey.

DR.. ]. W. Vance, of Madison wis
writes: although honey has very an
cient history, both sacred and prOfane,
having been in use from time immemorIal,
It's praises sung by inspired and uninspired
poets, yet in modern times it has fallen
into comparative dlsuse, perhaps on &C
count Of the competition of cane and grape
sugars, and sirups made from them. The
use of honey has almost become lost art.
1t seems to be regarded by most people as
a luxury only, and seldom appears on the
table except on great occasions. Away
back in the annals of time our ancestors
used it as q common article of food, and in
cooking. Honey is physiological sweet;
in other words, its constituents are such
that it is absorbed into the blood without
undergoing chemical change. Such is not
the fact with regard to sugar. Sugar is
indigestible, or rather not as susceptible of
absorption and assimilation as honey, but
it requires the action of the gastric Juice to
split or invert its elements, the muriatic
acid element of the gastric juice being the
chief agent in this transformation. This
change produces what is termed in chem
istTy dextrose and l9Vulose. 1 presume
this explanation does not convey a very
clear or definite idea of the nature of these
products, for the names applied only indi-
cate how they affect polarizsd light. After
this change occurs absorption takes place,
If IN any way 1t is hindered, or on account
of any excess of sugar above the capacity
of the gastric juice to transform, there re.
mains residue, the result is decomposi.
ton into elements that irritate and inflame
the mucous membrane of the intestinal
canal, producing a list of ailments too
numerous to mention here. Think OF the
leeions of little ones who have been the
victims of their universal fondness for
sweets, and who so frequently suffer from
gastric troubles which are, in large de-
gree, the result Of sugar indigestion. How

Dwarf Peas.

The dwarf varieties of peas are not so
pie took to them mainly because the vines
did not need the trouble and expense OF
stalking. But they do not compare in yield
with the best of the larger sorts. The little
vines may be and sometimes are covered
with pods, but they are not large enough
to hold full crop, and when once picked
the vine is done for. In the larger vines
there is more of a succession of bloom, Civ
ing a longer picking from the same seeding.

The shape of Pigs.

There is difference, writes Colonel +. ID
Curtis to the Rural New Yorker, in the
forms OF pigs, even in fixed breed. Some
will have long body and some short one;
some will be higher on the legs and some
lower; some will have a longer snout than
Others. The last feature is the leas, impor-
tant, although many persons make it
of the greatest consideration, while
IN fact it is really about the last thing to
worry about. Ii man is going to keep
hogs to please his eye, he can fuss about an
inch or so of snout as much as he pleases,
and make il subject OF q great deal OF
talk and thought; but if he is keeping hogs
to make something out of them, aud to
help enrich bis farm, that is another thing.
For my part / like good, strong and mod
erately long snout. 1t gives the hog the
appearance of business, something cunning,
while the little piggy, stubbed-off nose
looks as though that pig was finished, and
so IL IS, so fsr as much growth is concerned.
Growth is what we want in pig. Without
it there isn profit. A pig with long nose
generally has long body. This is a good
point, but Ii must be the only considera-
ton in our selection Of male. The hams
must be carefully viewed, and II they are
not well rounded out, and deep down, the
pig is lacking in a most valuable part. The
shoulders. too, should be broad and the
back should be the same, and well rounded,
if we want lots of spare-rib. a flat-sided
hog will make more mess pork in proper
ton, and will lack in thickness along the
line. The legs should always be short,
and this feature denotes Jan easy keeper.
because such hog will always be quiet
one. a long-legged or stilted hog will al
ways be on the run, and will never be
satisfied with the best of food. The male
should be selected for special purpose. II
IN % INN in
inent in the male, but at the same time
be should not be deficient in some other
parts; or while one feature is being i'm
proved another, perhaps equally as good,
will be spoiled.

Breeding Good Layers.

It's only the poultry.keeper who makes
pets OF his flock, and knows the individual
pacity OF his hens by setting eggs only from
those that prove the best layers. The pro-
fessional breeders all understand this, and
when they offer selected eggs at higher
price it is better, If they deal honestly, to
take them than eggs equally pure bred
from the common flock. Unless the breeder
takes this care in selecting his own stock
il will deteriorate, even though the breed
may not be mixed with others.

Breaking Calves to Lead.

1t is comparatively easy to teach young
calf to be lead by the rope, and if it is to be
bred for COW the advantage of having
this accomplish ment will increase its value.
Even in its calf age docility in being easily
led will give il more frequent changes of
feed when tied by rope, and thus insure
greater thrift and larger growth. 1t will
prove an advantage so long as il lives, aud
the sooner this docility Is learned the better
for the animal and its owner.
